The purpose of this thesis is to address the question: how can memorialization contribute to social transformation? Specifically, in what ways is memorialization activist? To answer this question I worked with St. George’s Cathedral’s Crypt Memory and Witness Centre on their Bearing Witness exhibit, conducted primary and secondary literature surveys (namely academic articles and books, and periodicals from 1980-1986), story-telling focus groups and individual interviews. The exhibit group consisted of 17 former South African squatters who fasted at St. George’s Cathedral in 1982, demanding rights to live and work in Cape Town. Of the group of 17, I conducted personal interviews with seven women and three men. 2015-09-15T10:11:12Z 2015-09-15T10:11:12Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13946 eng application/pdf Department of Political Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
